Trending now: the Blush Handbag

If you haven’t noticed yet, last week the Pretty Little Details website got a major makeover!

Since my first blog post four years ago, Pretty Little Details has transformed from my personal style diary into an online fashion & lifestyle destination. My goal is to create an inspiring resource you can turn to when looking for ideas for everything from current fashion trends to new travel destinations.  I’m always looking for new ways to incorporate fresh inspiring content, so this year I’m partnering with Amazon.ca to publish more trend stories & shopping guides. I want to help you sort through the millions of products available for purchase online to find the amazing deals and one-of-a kind gems that you will be #obsessed with!

So, are you ready for today’s trend story?  I’m talking all about the must have spring accessory… the blush handbag!

I believe that accessories are what makes an outfit and the “it” accessory of the season is definitely the blush handbag.  While a classic black bag has been the go-to choice for years, spring is the perfect time to swap out your tired basic black purse for one in a lighter more sophisticated colour.  The soft desaturated pink hue that is trending right now is the ultimate neutral and you will be surprised with how it matches with nearly everything.

Whether you choose a bag in a rose, nude or pink hue, you can be sure that there is a blush bag that will suit your style.  Best of all, there are amazing blush handbags available at every price point, so whether you are looking for a luxe investment piece or a bargain, it’s easy to try the trend for yourself!

Here are my picks for 8 gorgeous blush handbags to add into your wardrobe.

1. Ted Baker Beckaa Cross Body – $595
Ted Baker can pretty much do no wrong in my opinion, and this pretty clutch knocks it out of the park.  The classic shape is elegant and the pretty rose gold hardware gives it an extra special touch.

2. Saint Laurent Blush Sac De Jour Satchel – $1,866
This purse is definitely an investment piece, but the structured shape is timeless and will never go out of style.

3. X-Horizon Cellphone Wallet Cross Body – $13
The petite size of this cross body bag is perfect for traveling or when don’t want to carry much more than your phone, keys and a bit of cash.  And at only $13 it’s a steal of a deal!

4. Katerina Fox Leather Handbag – $217
Katrina Fox is a new brand to me, but I’m obsessed with the vintage silhouette of this handbag.  It’s designed & manufactured in Ukraine and made with genuine leather, so you know this is a statement bag that will last for years to come.

5. Micom Tassel Cross Body – $29
This adorable cross body stands out because of its tassel detail and beautiful deep shade of blush. It’s also a super affordable option since it’s under $30!

6. Rebecca Minkoff Finn Cross Body – $206
This blush bag is the perfect blend of feminine & boho styles.  With Coachella coming up in less than a month, this bag would be an ideal choice for wearing around the stylish music festival.

7. Mn & Sue Fringe Detail Bag – $19
I usually prefer a more structured bag, but the fold-over detail and cute fringe on this bucket bag has me obsessed.

8. Kate Spade Embossed Leather Bag – $350
I love that this bag can be worn either handheld or over the shoulder.  The deep shade will compliment more neutral outfits and the crocodile embossed leather and 14k gold hardware make it feel extra luxurious.
